Manjaro-Illyria 18.0 was just announced with their flagship Xfce desktop edition. Xfce 4.13 with the latest components are shipped atop their Arch-based stack. For Manjaro 18.0 there has been a lot of polishing to the UI/UX, Linux 4.19.0 is used as the default kernel with the latest hardware support, Manjaro Settings Manager offers up various improvements, the newest Pamac, and a range of other package updates.
